Captain Ben flew us over Hikurangi Marine Reserve, searching for whales and finding many while providing fantastic information about the locale and the marine life. He professionally and effortlessly delivered a five star memorable experience. Highly recommended.

The sightseeing flight was nice but unfortunately no whales seen 😞 although the pilot tried very hard and kept making his circles.

We were booked at 1 pm, by the time we reached there they said flight is cancelled. No communication. However booked on the later available time but they could have informed us so we could have planned our day and trip. Very old and terrible plane. Booked for whale watching- could not see a single whale. Extremely boring, noisy and not worth the money we paid.

The young Captain was very cool and knowledgeable. It was a sunny day, and we got lucky to sight the whales. The flight experience itself was worth it. Would recommend

Short trip due to weather, but was the most amazing experience. the views were breathtaking, watching that storm come in was a bit frightening but at the same time beautiful. Will come back and do the full experience. staff were wonderful and welcoming, made sure we were set and comfy.

This was a great experience, getting to go on a propeller plane, seeing a whale and a pod of dolphins! Just our luck that on that day we only got to see 1 whale. Ben, our pilot, was very nice and knowledgeable. Landing and take off were smooth, we felt completely safe the entire time.
